How do we know they’ve been trying to contact him? The Irish News’s southern correspondent Valerie Robinson has a short piece on page 12 today noting our quest, with which she finishes:
The Irish News

What’s this all about? See: Mick is founding editor of Slugger. He has written papers on the impacts of the Internet on politics and the wider media and is a regular guest and speaking events across Ireland, the UK and Europe. Twitter: @MickFealty
